In case both of us pass, it has contact details for:
*attorney who prepared our estate planning docs
*executor
*trustees of testamentary trusts
*personal custodian of children as named in our Will
*tax pro
*key family members
…plus a list of every asset, account (including log-in details), insurance policy, debt & bill to pay
